Frozen buttercream transfers

Code: Football002
Code: Children004

I was searching for few ways to transfer pictures to cakes other than using the piping gel. And I came across this website http://www.cakecentral.com/article12-How-To-Create-a-Frozen-Buttercream-Transfer.html. This website teaches the step-by-step of frozen buttercream transfer. So I made these two cakes using the same method. I still need to improve my skills on this method. What problem I faced..the smoothness of the picture..it's not that smooth enough. Anyway, people were amazed with the cakes, though.

Code: Flowers002

This is a simple 21st birthday cake. There was no specific request from the birthday boy, so I just made a simple design.

Clifford, The Big Red Dog

Code: Children003
Code: Children002

The first cake is a marble cake and the latter is a chocolate cake. Clifford were made using piping gel. I traced clifford's picture on the cake and outlined it with black-colored buttercream icing. And then I filled in red-colored piping gel.




Double hearts

Code: Heart004

This is a butter cake covered with buttercream icing. I made two heart-shaped butter cake and combined both by cutting one of the cakes.The flowers were made of fondant (this was my first experiment with fondant). I used the cookie cutters to make the flowers. And I added the heart-shaped sprinkles at the sides.
